About the Project

Just like many artists and photographers I have dreamed about having my own gallery show. Or at least having one piece displayed in a gallery with other artists.

While walking through Manhattan one day I started to think… New York City is an amazing place and the perfect backdrop for a gallery. I began to ponder how I could turn the city into one gallery. This is when I came up with the Found Art NYC Project.

I thought it could be interesting to put my art in small frames and place them around the city.

The frames would have simple instructions on the back:

1. Take a picture of where you found the art.

2. Email the picture to FoundArtNYC@gmail.com

3. After taking a picture of the frame please leave the frame in a spot where someone else can find it.

To create an interactive project where viewers produce their own art by photographing the frames as they find them around the city. As the viewers share their photographs of the frames it creates a story of each individual frame’s travel throughout the city. The project allows the city to become a virtual gallery for others to enjoy.

Thus, the FOUND ART NYC Project was born.

**NOTE:Because the frames are not fixed to anything they are not considered graffiti. Please do not glue or affix the frames to anything!!! The project is meant to be fun and not destructive. The frames are meant to circulate the city and to other areas.
